32 lbs. lost in 4 weeks on the program. Within 3 days my knees felt perfect instead of constant pain and could not kneel down. Also, in the same three day period I stopped feeling tired all the time. I feel 100 % better in such a short period of time. There is no program on the planet that works this well, this fast without having a surgery. It is by pass results without the trauma. Ultra Satisfied.

I originally started the program at 205 hoping to lose 15 pounds, after years and years of unsuccessful dieting I lost 15 pounds in the first two and a half weeks. Now four months later I have lost 40 pounds. I have never felt better, slept better in my life1 always active; I have never been as active as I am now. I feel amazing. My alertness has been amazing. I cannot believe how much better I feel and how much better I look. This was the first successful diet I have ever encountered!

Dr. Gerber & his whole staff have been there every question I have. They have taken phone calls from me on weekends or whenever I have called. They explain every step to you. They have encouraged and supported me. I was very doubtful at the beginning but Dr. Gerber & his staff have convinced me that this is the best program for me. I no longer have any need for insulin. I was able to lose 14 lbs. in the first week! I am currently no taking any meds for my diabetes!

After 10 weeks on the program I have lost 40 lbs. and was able to stop taking all prescription medications. I have never felt hungry, or had any problem finding a variety of vegetables to eat. I feel confident that with the support and guidance of Dr. Gerber and staff I can continue to lose weight and have a healthy lifestyle.

I was over weight due to not being able to do much of anything after a back injury and shoulder injury. I started this program and learned how to eat healthier. My Dr. wanted to increase my cholesterol meds and I refused to and started this program. Now that I've lost some weight, I don't need any more meds!!! I was on high blood pressure meds for 34 years and am able to go off all my meds now. I feel much better not taking meds. My dr. was so pleased! I lost 32 Lbs. and 30 inches as of Aug. 24th 2012. I've gone from size 18 that was tight on me to a size 10 and sometimes a size 8.

Wellness is a state of optimal conditions for normal function... and then some

The wellness approach begins with a search for underlying causes of any disturbance or disruption (which may be causing symptoms at the time).

Make whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments are necessary to optimize conditions for normal function, an environment that encourages natural healing, and minimizes the need for invasive treatment, requiring it only when absolutely necessary.

When the body is working properly, it tends to heal effectively, no matter what the condition.

When the body heals well and maintains itself effectively, there is another level of health that goes beyond "asymptomatic" or "pain-free", revealing an open-ended opportunity for vitality, vibrant health. This enhanced experience of life includes mental and emotional health in addition to physical health.

Creating an atmosphere of mental and emotional wellness will address all but the most serious problems, even for those who suffer from psychological disorders.

Inside Out
vs. Outside In

If a patient has high blood pressure, a standard medical approach would be to choose a drug that lowers blood pressure, and ask the patient to take the drug. This may serve to lower the blood pressure, but ignores the underlying cause that is making the blood pressure high, and runs the risk of side effects complicating the person's recovery.

Whether it's a nutritional issue, faulty control by the nerve system or a manifestation of stress, the medication could decrease the blood pressure, leaving the problem causing the symptom of high blood pressure unaddressed.
